OSDM (Oldskool Demo Maker) Productions by Roy/SAC and More

Here is a list of oldskool crack intros, intros to promote RoySAC.com and multi-part demo productions that I created with the great and fun tool called Oldskool Demo Maker, which was written by Peace of Testaware, with some help of "Bobo". OSDM is based on the FXLib Effects Library for Pure Basic written by Epyx.

I also added some personal comments and background information to each intro and demo production.

In addition to that you are able to find links to download the original Win32 executable(s), the video capture of each intro in AVI format (XVID/MP3) and links to watch the captured videos online for each one of them. I hope you will enjoy them watching as much as I enjoyed creating them.

As another bonus I added a link to download the tune that I used (mostly in .XM, Fasttracker 2 or Protracker .MOD format) for each release to its "Goddies" section where you can also find the links to download the .EXE and the video capture in .AVI format.

If you are already an OSDM user or want to start using it, I recommend checking out the OSDM Resources section further down below, which you will probably find very helpful to find some raw material for your own OSDM intro productions.

If you don't want to check all of my releases one by one, then I also have something for you. I release frequently so-called "Megatro" packs, which contain all of my latest OSDM releases that I published up to that point, conveniently packaged in a single ZIP/RAR archive and interactive multi-media menu system. Download those and you have covert most of my releases all at once, except for the most recent productions, which I am going to release eventualy in another "Megatro" pack at some time in the near future.

OSDM Productions Exe Packs February, 2011
I created two packages with all the executables of my OSDM productions until February 2011 (you can download individual releases at the detail page for each production). One package contains the windowed versions and the other one the full-screen versions of my productions. Few of my releases are not available in full-screen mode, also some full-screen releases are not available in windowed mode, but those are rare exceptions. Typically there is a full-screen and windowed version available of all my major OSDM demo and intro releases. Here are the download links for the packages.

Note: My OSDM Productions are NOT official Superior Art Creations releases. They are only personal releases by myself, Roy/SAC. I always have the "SAC" in my username for over 15 years and I won't change that now. That's why you see "SAC" in my OSDM productions. Nothing more, nothing less.

Special Releases

Note: Behind each production is an indicator in which Megatro releasethe production was published. Links in RED indicate demo productions, where I got the most or most severe positive feedback,
favorites or "top rated" so to speak.

Additional OSDM Info

The Oldskool Demo Maker, short OSDM, is freeware and you can download it here

The tool is not very intuitive and not very easy to use at first. Another problem is that the documentation is for the last part written in German language. But there is help available elsewhere. You can find other fans and enthusiasts of OSDM as well as help and tons of useful resources at the OSDM Portal and community forums for OSDM. There you also have the opportunity to show off your latest creations that you did yourself using the tool.

You can also join the OSDM Video group at the social video sharing site Vimeo.com. You can find all my OSDM Intro creations there and also the video captures of intros created by others. Join the group and share your video captures there too.

Other OSDM (Oldskool Demomaker) Tools and Data Collections

OSDM Vector Text Tool 1.0 (601 KB) A little tool written by myself to create vector text objects in VOBJ format for the use with OSDM. The text is generated based on pre-defined vector font templates. Also included is a tool to create new vector font templates on your own.

Frame Animation PNG 2 Frame Images Converter Tool (77 KB) is a little tool that I wrote myself in PureBasic that is now also part of Testaware's FAC - Frame Animation Creator tool for OSDM (now even part of OSDM itself in the "Tools" tab), which allows you to create horizontal and vertical frame animation PNG images out of individual PNG images. It lets you do the exact opposite, split up a frame animation PNG into individual PNG images for every frame. Note: My little tool does not work for block frame animations that were introduced with OSDM v2.23.401

Vertical/Horizontal 2 Blockwise Frame Animation Batch Converter Tool (116 KB) -
Converter for Oldskool Demomaker Frame Animations that were created for OSDM Versions prior V2.23.401. Until V2.23.401 SPRITE and BOUNCER Effects used "Horizontal" Frame Animations and the LOGO Effect "Vertical" Frame Animations. Since V2.23.401 all Effects ONLY use "Blockwise" Frame Animations. Blockwise Animations have up-to 8 Frames next to each other on the X-Axis.The Number of Frames "per Line" (Y-Axis) depends on the total number of frames (e.G. NumFrames / 8 .. Rounded up to the next full Integer). Blockwise Animations Require the Suffix _Bxx in the File Name where xx stands for the number of Frames. The Tool only supports Frame Animations in PNG, BMP and JPG Format.The GIF Format is unfortunately not Supported.

OSDM Image Linker Tool V1.0.0.4 by Bobo (344 KB) = another tool to create horizontal or vertical frame animations from a list of individual and identical size images (preverable named in a sequence of numbers). Another cool feature: conversion of Animated-Gifs to frame animations!

My VOBJ Collection 5 (12.7 MB), which only contains hundreds more OSDM Vector Objects, no 3D Balls and no Animations. Also included in this release are the latest version of my VOBJ Tool, my VOBJ Viewer, the Vector Font Tool and a Beta of my VOBJ Editor Tool, which is based on the Dex3D Engine for Visual Basic.

My VOBJ Collection 6 (11.8 MB), over 1300 objects and several tools, cleaned up and better sorted than the previous versions of my collection.

OSDM Settings Save Script - script that creates a structured backup of PREFS ".INI" for an OSDM demo production with all (actually enabled and used) resources.
